 Written on April 26, 2008 Summary: o.k. Leans toward secular humanism. Now we certainly read this one often. Kids' ages are 6 and 3. 6 likes it very much, 3 listens a little. I would say the book trends toward humanism, as if our highest goal in life is to be self-actualizing and happy. Being happy is a BIG THING in this book. Be HONEST, be STRONG, be FAIR, be WISE, and you will be HAPPY. I read the book word-for-word until I get to page 56, which instructs us to make no value judgments among cultures. I replace the text with "We are blessed to live in freedom and prosperity. Counting our blessings is a way to be wise and happy." I actually stuck a sticky note on the page so Gramma can read it the same way. But you know, we like the book. And it works out o.k. with our other manners-oriented and raising kids books. Just know, going in, that the drive is to be HAPPY. ** Added October 2008 -- I would recommend Hermione Hartley's book "Manners Matter". Cheers!  Written on December 30, 2007 Summary: Still great after fifty years How to Behave and Why is the book I would choose for 7-year-olds (as my grandaughter is) who have a tendency to cheat or lie. Perhaps it is the age but she must learn that she will lose friends and fun if she doesn't play fair. This book is gentle and understanding. Written on November 7, 2007 Summary: pleasant children unite It is always nice when your children (and in my case, this includes grandchildren) have others mention how much they enjoy their company because of their polite behavior, good manners and/or proper speech. It's just the kind of attention that they need to enforce good feelings about themselves. Of course, children who do not possess this kind of behavior will get attention, too. It just won't be very positive. The Munro Leaf books reinforce the importance of good speech and manners. If you would like your children to have these "life tools", this book is for you. Written on August 8, 2007 Summary: It's good, but for a little bit older kids It's a good book but since the drawings are all done in black/white/red it doesn't capture little ones attentions very long. It's also a bit wordy so for toddlers and preschoolers I would pass. Written on June 27, 2007 Summary: Great read for the whole family Ordered this to address the white lies that my kids have been telling. We have been concerned that the behavior might escalate. Both my husband and I read the book first. It was a good refresher for us as to the "talking" points for appropriate and trustful behavior. The kids read it and it was right on their level (they are 7 band 10). We had positive discussions and I think it is something we can keep referring back to as the need arises--for a few years anyway. |
